R34 Engine & Transmission Swap

[xntrq]

I'm thinking of buying a R34 GT-T and being on my P's I can't drive turbo. Recently buying back my old R34 wreck which is still in mint running condition, I want to do an engine and transmission/gearbox swap between the cars. I know it's going to be a ton of work but my desperation is growing in finding the right car that is P plate friendly. I know the GTT will also be plated as a turbo but I will sort out the formalities side.

Can anyone give me feedback on engine/transmission swaps, do's & don't do's, tips and tricks and possible risks? I also have have a jack and jack stands, would that be sufficient to work with or would I need a hoist?

Also if someone could find a engine & transmission swap tutorial for R34 Coupes would be highly appreciated. I couldn't find anything too specific using search.

I simply wouldn't do it. I know it seems like you will be on your Ps forever, but that is the problem with being young. You can't believe how fast a year or two will fly by. Buy the GTT, sit on it. Spend the time and money you would have wasted on TWO comeplete driveline swaps (to NA and back to turbo afterwards) on making it as sweet as you can, and buy yourself some shitty little Corolla or similar to get around in in the mean time.

You will hate yourself for taking apart a perfectly good GTT. Trust me.
